Hi Pete, Glad to hear from you! How's it going? Yes SML is interesting. It may have influence on every XML based Grid technology, but I wouldn't say it is parallel to the specific deployment specifications. BTW, there will be a presentation from NAREGI PSE at OGF19 ACS session. I hear it will include their first implementation of ACS repository replication. Are you interested in it? -Keisuke Pete Ziu wrote:
Hi folks, sorry for the long absence. Very interesting. So we now have three of these in the mix with varying scopes? (SDD-TC, CDDLM, and SML).
Pete.

I think the schematron may be another missing link in XML world since after emergence of the XML Schema, and the SML can be a successful practice of it. The problem is that I am a bit behind the band:-p I will appreciate it if you fill in your idea occasionally.

I agree that it is a step ahead. ACS could manage an SML XML document descriptor as well. :) SML seems to me at first glance to weave together management and deployment/provisioning and potentially more. If a "complete" model is rendered, then the model could be used to drive everything from determining where to best provision something (based on the use of constraints), and then know how to manage the system and dependencies. Maybe I'm reading too much into it for now - I'll need to study it more and try to figure out all the places where it can be applied. It will be interesting to see their scenarios. There is also a mention of a database to store and distribute models using the SML-IF potentially - a familiar pattern.

Thanks, Mike!
This sounds like a step ahead practice than today's framework. It may help us to do things more clearly. What is your idea on this?
